Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a spectral curve acquiring device, a concrete measuring instrument, a spectral curve acquiring method and a concrete measuring method by which an information regarding a salt damage and a neutralization of a concrete is acquired in a non-contact and non-destructive manner.
- In an infrastructural structure such as a bridge, a tunnel or the like, a large amount of concrete is used. The concrete deteriorates with time due to, for instance, a salt damage by a splash of a seawater and a diffusion of an anti-freezing agent, a neutralization by carbon dioxide in the air, or the like. Therefore, for a maintenance and an operation of the structure, regularly measuring a salinity concentration in the concrete and a progress of the neutralization and diagnosing a soundness of the concrete has been required in recent years.
- Conventionally, in a measurement of an aging deterioration of the concrete, a destructive inspection to cut out a test specimen directly from a structure of an object to be measured, to conduct various types of tests to the test specimen, to measure the salinity concentration, the progress of the neutralization or the like, and to diagnose a degree of a deterioration of the concrete of the object to be measured has been carried out. However, in case of the destructive inspection, since the structure is damaged, it is difficult to repeatedly perform the measurement.
- Further, as a method for diagnosing the concrete in a non-destructive manner, there is a non-destructive inspection by which a near-infrared light is irradiated to the concrete, a reflected light from the concrete is spectroscopically measured, and the degree of the deterioration of the concrete is diagnosed.
- However, in case of remotely measuring the concrete in the non-contact manner, a waveform shape of a spectrum to be received greatly changes depending on a distance to the concrete. For this reason, in a conventional remote measurement, there was a problem that the salt damage and the neutralization cannot be accurately measured.
- It is to be noted that Patent Document 1 discloses a method for diagnosing the concrete by which the reflected light at the time of irradiating near-infrared lights to a concrete surface is spectroscopically analyzed, a concentration of calcium hydroxide is detected from a wavelength region of 900 to 1700 nm, a concentration of chloride ions is detected from a wavelength region of 1700 to 2500 nm using a chemometric method using a PLS regression analysis method, and the deterioration due to the neutralization and the salt damage is diagnosed from the concentration of calcium hydroxide and the concentration of chloride ions. However, Patent Document 1 does not disclose a distance to the concrete surface and a change in the waveform shape of a spectrum depending on a distance.

- Next, a description will be given on a measurement of the object to be measured 7 made of concrete using the measuring instrument 1.
- First, by the
spectrometer 3, the object to be measured 7 is spectroscopically measured. The irradiating light as irradiated onto the projectionoptical axis 5 by the light source 9 is irradiated to the object to be measured 7 passing through therelay lens 11 and theobjective lens 13. - A part of the reflected irradiating light as reflected by the object to be measured 7 is reflected onto the light receiving

Thespectroscopic plate 18 divides and reflects the reflected irradiating light into a plurality of spectrums having a predetermined wavelength and makes the divided spectrums be received by thephotodetector 19. - Further, in parallel with a measurement of the

arithmetic module 24 calculates a distance to the object to be measured 7 based on a light receiving information of the reflected distance measuring light and acquires the spectroscopic data based on the light receiving information as received by thephotodetector 19. The controlarithmetic module 24 prepares a measurement spectral curve 29 (seeFIG. 4B ) from the light receiving intensity for each wavelength based on the spectroscopic data. - Further, the control
arithmetic module 24 selects a reference spectral curve 28 (seeFIG. 4A ) (an information of a change in the reference spectral curve corresponding to the distance to be measured) corresponding to a distance to be measured based on the distance to the object to be measured 7. The controlarithmetic module 24 corrects and standardizes the measurement spectral curve 29 based on the reference spectral curve 28 and prepares a spectral reflectance curve 31 (seeFIG. 5 ) (the measurement spectral curve 29 acquired in case of assuming that the measurement is performed by a reference distance to be measured). - The control
arithmetic module 24 measures an information regarding a salt damage and a neutralization of the object to be measured 7, that is, a salinity concentration and pH of the object to be measured 7 by a PLS regression analysis method or the like based on a waveform shape of the spectral reflectance curve 31. - Alternatively, the control

It is to be noted that whether or not the spectral reflectance curve 31 is to be compared with the deteriorated spectral reflectance curves is appropriately set according to a purpose of the measurement. - A detailed description will be given below on the measurement of the object to be measured 7.
-
FIG. 4A shows referencespectral curves white reference plate 7 a is set to 2 meters, 3 meters and 4 meters, respectively. Further,FIG. 4B shows measurementspectral curves FIG. 4A andFIG. 4B , a count number of the light receiving intensity of the reflected irradiating light is plotted as an ordinate axis, and a wavelength (nm) is plotted as an abscissa axis. Further, in the following explanation, the referencespectral curves spectral curves - As shown in
FIG. 4A andFIG. 4B , as the distance between the measuring instrument 1 and the object to be measured 7 increases, a light receiving intensity to the measuring instrument 1 decreases, and waveform shapes of the reference spectral curve 28 and the measurement spectral curve 29 change. Further, if the distance between the measuring instrument 1 and the object to be measured 7 remains the same, even though there is a difference in the light receiving intensity, like the referencespectral curve 28 a and the measurementspectral curve 29 a, shapes of the reference spectral curve 28 and the measurement spectral curve 29 themselves are similar to each other. - Here, when the light receiving intensity decreases and the waveform shapes change, even if, for instance, the object to be measured 7 has the same salinity concentration, a measurement result changes. Therefore, a light reception storage time need to be changed so that the same light receiving intensity can be obtained even if the distance differs. That is, the light reception storage time is set as a correction information, and the measurement spectral curve 29 is corrected based on the set correction information.
- When the correction information is set, the reference spectral curve 28 corresponding to the measurement spectral curve 29 is firstly selected. That is, the
white reference plate 7 a is measured with the same distance as the measurement spectral curve 29, the acquired reference spectral curve 28 is selected, and a difference between the selected reference spectral curve 28 and the measurement spectral curve 29 is calculated. - Based on the calculated difference, the measurement spectral curve 29 is corrected, and the correction information to make the light receiving intensity equivalent to the reference spectral curve 28, that is, a light reception storage time during which the reflected irradiating light is received is calculated.
- Further, when the irradiating light is irradiated to the
white reference plate 7 a, the light receiving intensity of the reflected irradiating light becomes maximum. Therefore, by comparing the light receiving intensity at the time of measuring thewhite reference plate 7 a with the calculated difference, it is possible to calculate a reflectance of the concrete with respect to thewhite reference plate 7 a for each wavelength. By correcting and standardizing the measurement spectral curve 29 based on the reflectance for each wavelength and the correction information, the spectral reflectance curve 31 is prepared from the measurement spectral curve 29. -
FIG. 5 shows spectral reflectance curves 31 a to 31 d of four test specimens of which salinity concentration is known in a case where an ordinate axis represents a reflectance and an abscissa axis represents a wavelength (nm). It is to be noted that thespectral reflectance curve 31 a represents a spectral reflectance curve of a test specimen of which chloride ion amount per one cubic meter is 0 kg. Thespectral reflectance curve 31 b represents a spectral reflectance curve of a test specimen of which chloride ion amount per one cubic meter is 5 kg. Thespectral reflectance curve 31 c represents a spectral reflectance curve of a test specimen of which chloride ion amount per one cubic meter is 10 kg. Thespectral reflectance curve 31 d represents a spectral reflectance curve of a test specimen of which chloride ion amount per one cubic meter is 20 kg. - Further,
FIG. 6A shows spectral reflectance curves 31 a′ to 31 d′ acquired by primarily differentiating the spectral reflectance curves 31 a to 31 d, andFIG. 6B shows spectral reflectance curves 31 a″ to 31 d″ acquired by secondarily differentiating the spectral reflectance curves 31 a to 31 d. - In the spectral reflectance curves 31 a″ to 31 d″ acquired by secondarily differentiating the spectral reflectance curves 31 a to 31 d, it can be found that the reflectance increases as the salinity concentration rises and a remarkable difference appears in the waveform shape in a wavelength band at about 2260 nm.
- Therefore, a measurement of the salinity concentration of the object to be measured 7 can be performed by preparing the spectral reflectance curves 31 and obtaining the reflectance in the wavelength band at about 2260 nm, for instance, at 2266 nm.
- Further,
FIG. 7 shows spectral reflectance curves 31 e″ and 31 f″ (solid lines) acquired by secondarily differentiating spectral reflectance curves 31 e and 31 f (not shown) of a test specimen A and a test specimen B in which the neutralization does not progress and spectral reflectance curves 31 g″ and 31 h″ (broken lines) acquired by secondarily differentiating the spectral reflectance curves 31 g and 31 h (not shown) of a case where the neutralization progresses in such a manner that the test specimen A and the test specimen B are placed under an environment of high concentration of carbon dioxide. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , by comparing the spectral reflectance curves 31 e″ and 31 f″ with the spectral reflectance curves 31 g″ and 31 h″, it can be found that the reflectance in a wavelength band at about 1410 nm decreases as the neutralization progresses. - Therefore, whether or not there is a neutralization of the object to be measured 7 can be measured by preparing the spectral reflectance curves 31 and obtaining the reflectance in the wavelength band at about 1410 nm.
- It is to be noted that, in a case where the neutralization progresses, not only the wavelength band at about 1410 nm but also a wavelength band which changes by a change in the salinity concentration is known to change. That is, in a case where the neutralization has progressed, an accurate salinity concentration cannot be measured only by a reflectance in the wavelength band at about 2260 nm.
- In the present embodiment, a measurement is performed with respect to a large number of test specimens having known salinity concentration and pH in advance. The prepared spectral reflectance curves 31 of the test specimens are saved and accumulated as deteriorated spectral reflectance curves as associated with a distance to the measuring instrument 1, the salinity concentration and pH, and stored in the
storage module 25 by being databased. - At the time of measuring a state of the object to be measured 7, after the spectral reflectance curve 31 of the object to be measured 7 is prepared, a deteriorated spectral reflectance curve which coincides with or approximates the spectral reflectance curve 31 is selected from the accumulated deteriorated spectral reflectance curves. Further, the salinity concentration and pH as associated with the selected deteriorated spectral reflectance curve are output as an information related to the salt damage and the neutralization, that is, the salinity concentration and pH of the object to be measured 7.
- Whether or not the spectral reflectance curve 31 coincides with or approximate the deteriorated spectral reflectance curve is judged, for instance, by obtaining a correlation coefficient of two entire curves, or by obtaining a correlation coefficient of a wavelength range as set in advance, or the like.
- Further, based on a value of the obtained correlation coefficient, the salinity concentration and pH of the object to be measured 7 may be output as an estimated value.
- As described above, in the present embodiment, the light reception storage time of the reflected irradiating light is used as the correction information, and the acquired measurement spectral curve 29 is corrected based on the correction information according to the distance between the measuring instrument 1 and the object to be measured 7.
- Therefore, even in a case where the distance between the measuring instrument 1 and the object to be measured 7 changes and the waveform shape of the measurement spectral curve 29 greatly changes, the equivalent spectral reflectance curve 31 can be acquired. That is, irrespective of the distance to be measured, a spectral reflectance curve required for the measurement of the salinity concentration and pH can be acquired. Further, by using the spectral reflectance curve 31, an accurate measurement result can be obtained irrespective of a distance, and a stable remote measurement becomes possible.
- Further, the
white reference plate 7 a is measured a plurality of times with different distances, the plurality of reference spectral curves 28 are prepared in advance and stored in thestorage module 25 by being databasing for each distance. Therefore, the measurement of thewhite reference plate 7 a need not to be performed every time the object to be measured 7 is measured, and a workability can be improved. - Further, in the present embodiment, we do not focus on a specific wavelength band in the spectral reflectance curve 31, but we focus on the waveform shape of the entire spectral reflectance curve 31. A deteriorated spectral reflectance curve having a waveform shape which coincides with or approximates a waveform shape of the spectral reflectance curve 31 is selected from the plurality of deteriorated spectral reflectance curves as stored in the
storage module 25, and the salinity concentration and pH of the object to be measured 7 is measured based on the selected deteriorated spectral reflectance curve. - Therefore, even in a case where the salt damage and a neutral deterioration occur at the same time and the accurate salinity concentration and pH cannot be measured only by a reflectance in a specific wavelength band, the salinity concentration and pH of the object to be measured 7 can be measured.
- It is to be noted that although the accurate salinity concentration and pH cannot be measured only by the spectral reflectance curve 31, many or few of the salinity concentration and a presence or an absence of the neutralization can be judged by the reflectance in the specific wavelength band. Therefore, the spectral reflectance curve 31 need not to be compared with the deteriorated spectral reflectance curves in a case where an accurate measured value is not required, for instance, in a case where only an order of positions to be reinforced is simply determined.
